Chapter 102: A little lost and melancholy
After a pause, Miss Qian pretended to be smart again, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "This matter, in my opinion, it couldn't be easier to explain." King Rong saw that he was about to reach the age of a weak crown, and he did not have any outstanding achievements, but Han Qi was a well-known talented woman inside and outside the capital, and there was an endless stream of suitors. The status of the two is comparable, and King Yirong feels that it is better to start a business first and then start a family, so that his fiancΓ©e can look down on him, and let others think that they are talented and beautiful, a pair made in heaven, and they can't find any obvious flaws in the process. King Rong did not hesitate to gamble with his life, and won a smile from his sweetheart, which can be described as deep and touching! β
Miss Qian's words made some sense to Mrs. Liu, and she nodded her head again and again.
They didn't know that these words entered Chi Yue's ears, but they poured straight into her heart, making her heart heavy and overcast.
She didn't know why she was like this, but she couldn't help but feel a little lost and melancholy, and the whole banquet was absent-minded and unrelenting. Facing the table full of delicacies, I didn't feel any appetite, but I just ate two bites under the urging of Mrs. Liu.
It was easy to get past noon, and everyone dispersed one after another, so she couldn't wait to say goodbye and go back to reply to Chi Xin, Aunt Chi and others to reply to the good news.
Chi Xin and Zhou heard that their workshop was saved, and they were happy!
"It's a good day to run, we need to make a good meal and celebrate." As he spoke, Zhou Shi put down the work in his hand and was busy pulling vegetables in the vegetable garden, preparing to come back and pluck the precious black chicken that Chi Yue brought back not long ago, and stew a bowl of soup to drink.
Chi Yue hurried to Aunt Chi's house again, Aunt Chi listened to Chi Yue's words, and was wiping her tears excitedly, so the Li family sent someone here.
The man threw a piece of paper to Aunt Chi, along with a silver ticket, "This is what Miss Li asked me to bring to you, but this is the contract signed by Carpenter Chi for the transfer of the fan invention right to the Li family, and I will return it to you later." This silver ticket was a reimbursement to the carpenter of the pond for his medical expenses, a full fifty taels of silver, but it was several times higher than the price of ordinary people. Be content, and don't go to the Li Mansion to disturb her tranquility. β
Chi Yue frowned secretly. Listening to this person's relay, it can be seen how impatient Li Qingqing was when he said these words, and how unwilling he was when he took out the money, only with the intention of sending away, without the slightest sincerity.
Aunt Chi thinks that she has a low status and deserves to be treated like this by the nobles, so she is not annoyed by the contempt of this person's words, but takes it for granted.
Holding on to the fifty taels of silver ticket, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and thanked her again and again, "Thank you, and thank you Miss Li!" When my husband wakes up, I'll ask him to come to the door and thank him! β
"There's no need to go and say thank you, because my young lady doesn't want to see you at all, so I didn't annoy her and make her annoyed." The man said unceremoniously, and then warned, "This matter was not originally masterminded by my young lady, it was all Ge Yu's kid who took advantage of the convenience given to him by my young lady to host such a dirty thing himself." When you talk about it to others in the past, if you dare to say that half of my young lady is not, you are framed, but you have to go to prison and suffer, don't blame me for not reminding you here! β
glared at Aunt Chi like a threat, and even looked at Chi Yue twice, the man was too lazy to talk nonsense, and turned to leave.
Aunt Chi smiled awkwardly behind her, still staring at the fifty taels of silver tickets, and rarely took her eyes away, "God open your eyes, our family is better off now!" β
Chi Yue furrowed her brows slightly. At this time, she felt that Aunt Chi was a little childish.
What she should really be happy about is the right to invent the fan. If she gets this right, she can follow the carpenter of the pool to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and the profit she gets from this can be compared to fifty taels?
It's a pity that the countrymen have never seen the world, and they don't know the preciousness of the right, but they just covet a little profit in front of them.
And the carpenter Chi was injured by the Li Mansion, the other party only came to pay for the medical expenses and the things seized, and did not sincerely apologize, and even arrogant and rude, Aunt Chi not only did not get angry, but also smiled at others all the time, Chi Yue looked at it from the side, and felt angry, even more angry than the other party's group of fierce gods!
This kind of person has a good reputation of contentment, but in fact he is cowardly and incompetent. Chi Yue secretly swore that she couldn't become like this, and she didn't look down on herself.
One day, she will face everyone by herself, and everyone will nod and smile at her like the moon!
There will come a time.
She said a few words, and learned that the carpenter Chi was still unconscious, and he didn't go in to visit, so she went back to her house, leaving Aunt Chi holding the silver ticket and stealing fun alone at home.
When Zhou saw her, he hurriedly came out of the stove room and said to Chi Yue: "Yue'er, tomorrow is the day when your sister-in-law and brother's house eat full moon wine, you and Chi Xin don't go to the county seat to work tomorrow, go to this banquet with me." After all, they are all relatives, and your sister-in-law named you to go, so don't refute other people's face. β
Chi Yue has been here since she was reborn, and she has never seen the face of this sister-in-law, even in the memory of the original owner, this sister-in-law only leaves a vague figure, and as for other things about her, she can't remember it ambiguously.
It's just that my sister-in-law Chi Xuemei married to Cuijia Village five years ago, and it is more than 20 miles away from Wuxiang Village, so I only come to visit the Chi family's old house during the New Year's holidays.
At this time, he actually named Chi Yue to go, and I thought that I had heard that Chi Yue was capable and opened a workshop in the village and outside the village. The treatment of rich relatives and poor relatives is clear to her at a glance.
Therefore, Chi Yue's initial impression of her sister-in-law was not very good. Think about it, how can a woman who was raised by Grandma Chi be fair and upright and likable?
Knowing that the Zhou family has the best face, if she can't do what she promised others, she will definitely not feel good in her heart. It was Chi Yue who had no choice but to say, "I'll just go." β
Anyway, when she went there, Hengzhu just sat at the banquet and ate fried meat and fish, she just ate it, what did she do to manage the quality of others?
The next day, the family took a horse-drawn carriage and came to Cuijia Village, the door of Chi Xuemei and her husband Cui Heng.
"Oh, my sister-in-law and the children are here, in charge, come out to greet you!" Chi Xuemei greeted Cui Heng, came up together to help the Zhou family of five get out of the car, and helped them pick up the big bags of things, and praised one after another, "These two are really spiritual, I think it is because they eat well on weekdays, so they are so round and ruddy." Look, Xin'er is growing more and more into a big girl, when I saw it before, she was like a bean sprout that couldn't be stretched, but now she is as beautiful as a flower, it's a different person! Oops, this is Chi Yue, right? β
Chi Yue was the last to go out of the carriage, and it was Chi Xuemei's praise that fell to her, and she was a little late, "At Chi Yuan's wedding banquet before, I didn't say a few words to you, that's called an unwilling!" Now that you are here, I have to talk to you well, and ask my aunt to learn from you, and she will be able to do this in the future, and she will open the workshop to the county seat, and get the money to be soft! β
The eldest girl is Chi Xuemei's first daughter, only seven years old, hiding at the door, being urged by her father, and she didn't know how to come forward to say hello.
"Xuemei, my sister-in-law brought a black chicken." Cui Heng looked at the black chicken in his hand, his hands were a little trembling, "Where can our peasant family afford to eat?" My sister-in-law can use this to make up for our daughter-in-law, but she really has invested in it, and she can afford us. β
Many relatives took the chickens and ducks from the home at most, and at this time they heard that the Zhou family brought the black chicken that only the big families could afford to eat, and they came to watch, and they sighed and sighed, which was very strange, and they looked down on the Zhou family more and more.
Someone lifted the basket covered with a red cloth and exclaimed, "Oh my God, there's a black egg here!" I've only seen this black egg once, but it's still in the New Year's market, and ordinary people don't dare to buy it. How much does it cost you to bring such a basket? β
Zhou Zhichi Yue didn't want to tell others about raising black chickens and saving black eggs in the "dungeon", so she just smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing that the Zhou family made such a generous move, Cui Heng and Chi Xuemei were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together.
If it is said that the warm reception of Shicai is still a little contrived, at this time it is really a bit of a reception of distinguished guests, and the meaning of Peng Sheng is shining, and the corners of his eyes are also smiling.
Chi Xuemei kept chattering, introducing the Zhou family into the courtyard of the house.
The house was crowded with relatives, the courtyard was full of people, and finally two benches were empty. She insisted on letting Zhou and the others sit, personally serving tea and water, and coming over just to talk and chat with Zhou.
Zhou has never been so warmly entertained by Chi Xuemei, and when she is often seen, she always looks like she loves to answer. Even at Chi Yuan's wedding banquet last time, Chi Xuemei only grinned at her politely, which flattered the Zhou family. At this time, Zhou really felt that Chi Xuemei regarded herself as her sister-in-law for the first time, and she had the taste of true affection between relatives.
Thinking about it, Chi Xuemei didn't want to see her in the past, but she was prejudiced against her because she heard Grandma Chi slandering her in every way. Could it be that at this time, the misunderstanding was solved, and she was asked to make up for it, treating her differently from others and giving herself special treatment?
Zhou listened to Chi Xuemei's spitting and splattering words, and at the same time thought about it in his heart, but saw Chi Xuemei holding Chi Yue's hand and couldn't stop praising it, and suddenly had other thoughts in his heart.
Could it be that Chi Xuemei treated herself because of Chi Yue?
Thinking like this, Zhou's flattered heart gradually calmed down and began to look at the people present.
Most of them are relatives from near and far she knows, as well as relatives on Cui Heng's side.
Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi were in the main house, talking to Chi Xuemei's in-laws, and probably hadn't seen a few of them coming.
When she met someone she knew, she politely greeted people.
Suddenly, she saw Boss Chi, Qiao's family, and Chi Yuan and his daughter-in-law coming together, and couldn't help but quietly pull Chi Yue's sleeve.
Chi Yue also saw them, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
